Hi everyone,

Hope you have all settled back into Term 2 well.

I'm in the process of researching new 3D printers for a budget submission as we currently have 7 year old Makerbot Replicator 5th Gen printers that are quite problematic.

Is anyone using SLA printers they would recommend? Or have you stayed with FDM printers for classwork?

Ideally looking at printers that can be networked so I can run prints as we have no technician.

Thanks in anticipation.

Regards,
Heath
